WORKS COPY Re Broken Steering Arm. With reference to my wire re the above, I did not necessarily mean an increase on what has already been done, but an increase of 30% in depth on the broken one. This should double its resistance to fracture, which is about the required amount. Will you please send me a lever of the broken design, and also one of the most up to date. F.H.R. | ||
